You are given an array of integers 'ARR' of length 'N' and an integer Target. Your task is to return all pairs of elements such that they add up to Target.

Note:

We cannot use the element at a given index twice.

Given a sequence of ‘N’ space-separated non-negative integers A[1],A[2],A[3],......A[i]…...A[n]. Where each number of the sequence represents the height of the line drawn at point 'i'. Hence on the cartesian plane, each line is drawn from coordinate ('i',0) to coordinate ('i', 'A[i]'), here ‘i’ ranges from 1 to ‘N’. Find two lines, which, together with the x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most area of water.

Note :
1. You can not slant the container i.e. the height of the water is equal to the minimum height of the two lines which define the container.

2. Do not print anything, you just need to return the area of the container with maximum water.
Example

water-diagram

For the above Diagram, the first red marked line is formed between coordinates (2,0) and (2,10), and the second red-marked line is formed between coordinates (5,0) and (5,9). The area of water contained between these two lines is (height* width) = (5-2)* 9 = 27, which is the maximum area contained between any two lines present on the plane. So in this case, we will return 3* 9=27.

1. Group Anagrams

IntuitExpedia GroupBNY Mellon

You have been given an array/list of strings 'inputStr'. You are supposed to return the strings as groups of anagrams such that strings belonging to a particular group are anagrams of one another.

An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase. We can generalize this in string processing by saying that an anagram of a string is another string with the same quantity of each character in it, in any order.

Note:
The order in which the groups and members of the groups are printed does not matter.
For example:
inputStr = {"eat","tea","tan","ate","nat","bat"}
Here {“tea”, “ate”,” eat”} and {“nat”, “tan”} are grouped as anagrams. Since there is no such string in “inputStr” which can be an anagram of “bat”, thus, “bat” will be the only member in its group.
Problem approach

Used Array of vectors and storing the similar anagrams in a list and appending it to the array element.
